damage in the northeast of the united states was not exclusively related to environmental policies and actions taken in the united states of america. .. and the course of civilization and the history of civilization and taking government from small tribes and villages to cities and states, to nationstates, is too broader and broader societal groupings, because our economy is extended across the borders and our travel is extended across the borders and the risks we face came from beyond those borders so it's only natural that over time, we will develop stronger global institutions because we face more shared problems with all of those people. i can add one last thing. remember the beginning of the united states of america. the economy of the southern northern states was very very different and evey today, the economy in montana im very different from the economy and lower manhattan. and we found a way to deal with that and to regulate it. the same is true in europe in the same is true in china and the same is true in india and brazil. india. same is the same is true and brazil. this country dea

people have to be accountable for their actions. they have to weigh the risk and reward. if you privatize and socialize the loss is you get a disaster. sweet and that perception once and for all in the capitol markets. including the government. if you loan money to an institution, individual or sovereign government, if they can't pay you back their granted default and you are not going to get your money back. we've to face a high rate of interest but it isn't just further and banks. we have to end the subsidy for the students borrowing money to go to college, for individuals who are borrowing money to buy a house. if you want to buy a house there should be no government guarantee. no bail out for the bank if you don't repeat that mortgage. therefore the banks will be more money they make the loan they will make sure the person that's adequate down payment and has the income to repay that loan. right now you have all of this hazard and what about the bank's? i don't want the government bailing out a bank account. i don't want the government injured bank account. if you put

stand on one wall if you have this opinion about social security or this opinion about affirmative action. even had mandatory questionnaires about what races and sexes you would be that you had to fill out and one young freshmen responded that is none of your damn business and i can't do that case justice as i have a chapter on the university of delaware but excitingly i had my first article in "the new york times." that happen on thursday and they really wanted me to focus on the elite colleges. so a whole chapter on yale and harvard in the book and i mentioned in one case since i'm so used to these cases at this point i'm kind of surprised at how powerful their response was. this was a case where harvard and yale have the game and that's why they play than in football. this is funny thing it is such a big deal but they like to make fun of each other and they have pretty crude slogans plastered on them on t-shirts to make fun of each other. one of them is you can't spell harvard without vd. [laughter] and in 2009 they decided to go highbrow. the ticket quote from the 1920 book by f. scot

actually when he talked about the binders, he talked about whether or not we should have affirmative-action so that we go out and find these women. he talked about equal pay. or did he? he said i brought these women in but he didn't say whether or not he paid them the same as he paid the men. and if he did, then he believes in equal pay. but it is more than i personally believe in equal pay and you personally and that will all get us to eat quality. the question is whether or not that should be a national policy. >> i just wanted to go back to the point about sweden. if i were 25 and about to have a baby i would rather live in sweden. you can have child-care, you can have family leave for a year. the only disadvantage about these policies is that sometimes paid family leave will discriminate against women, but in the nordic countries and some other countries they are providing maternity care which is the answer. either use it or lose it. increasingly they're taking advantage of this. this is a question of public policy. changing the culture for store change the law. we have to do both becau
